Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: To compare the outcome of primary pterigium excision with amniotic membrane and conjunctival auto graft. Methods: This study was carried out in the premises of rural-based tertiary hospital, A comparative prospective study was performed in 150 patients (150 eyes) with primary Nasal and Temporal pterigium, these were randomized to undergo pterigium surgery using!0-0 vicry suture (50 eyes) with autologus blood to attach amniotic membrane graft(100 eyes) from October 2014 to 2016 mean follow up was 18 months. Outcome measure were duration of surgery, complications, postoperative discomfort and recurrence of pterigium. Result: Average operative time was 24±5.64 minutes in group one and 28.64±6.45 minutes in group 2, symptoms such as pain, photophobia, foreign body sensation, watering, chemosis were significantly less in subject treated with aminotic membrane. Conclusion: The use of amniotic membrane graph in pterigium surgery significantly reduces operative time and patients symptoms of pain and discomfort.
